Commentary
Ce type monétaire était jusqu’à présent classé par erreur à Emden ou à Modène. Christian Charlet et Francesco Pastrone, à partir d’un document d’archives conservé dans le fonds de la Cour des monnaies de Paris (sous-série Z1b des Archives nationales), ont montré que ces monnaies sans millésime, ont été frappées en 1657 à Monaco, à destination du Levant (BSFN, novembre 2016, p. 352-357). Ces espèces monégasques copient les monnaie d’Emden.

Christian Charlet and Francesco Pastrone, based on an archival document preserved in the funds of the Cour des monnaies de Paris (sub-series Z1b of the National Archives), have shown that these coins without a date were minted in 1657 in Monaco, destined for the Levant (BSFN, November 2016, pp. 352-357). These Monegasque coins copy the Emden coins

Historical background
MONACO - PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO - HONORE II GRIMALDI
(1604-1662)
Honoré II, who became prince in 1604, reigned over the principality for 58 years. He was first lord of Monaco between 1605 and 1633, then prince. Until 1641, Monaco was under Spanish protectorate. On this date, the principality returned to French orbit. Honoré was allowed to circulate his coins in France provided that they respected the conditions of the kingdom. The minting of crowns began in 1648. The first type was minted between 1648 and 1651, the second type in 1652 and 1653.
